Really..............................you got me! I am not real sure but from what I have been able to find I think he may be listed at times as a Thomas or Tho's is all that I saw for real. But I also wonder if perhaps he was not a Lewis, or else the son of a Lewis Floyd. Why do you have something that may help me out some. I do know that he shows up with a wife Elizabeth in GA but yet I can find no marriage yet for them. I find their children's but not theirs.
